Reese Speaks at National Press Club on Nonprofit Political Activity

Political Law Group partner Ezra Reese spoke last week at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, in a panel discussion about whether the Internal Revenue Service should adopt clearer rules for nonprofit political activity. Reese has written here before about the Bright Lines Project, an initiative he has led with other nonprofit tax experts to seek better guidance for politically active nonprofits. Entitled, “A Rising Tide Will Lift All Boats: Evangelical and Progressive Perspectives on the Need for Clear Rules for Nonprofits,” the discussion followed a keynote speech by U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, and brought together speakers from the progressive, evangelical Christian, and campaign finance reform communities. You can watch a video of the discussion here.
